March 2006

I completed the Self Care Course. Covered lots of things like Stress, Self Esteem, Healthy Eating and Exercise. I really enjoyed it and found the information given very interesting. This will help me in my role, when helping people in the communities with such problems. I also found the Healthy Eating section beneficial to me personally, as I picked up tips on what to feed my children. My daughter, who has always been a fussy eater, enjoyed reading the leaflets I brought home and we discussed the importance of fruit and vegetables.
I also went on my first Staff Away Day. We went to the Royal Armouries in Leeds. It was a great day and a great opportunity to get to know the people I will be working with this year. We finished the day off nicely with a meal in a local carvery restaurant.
